Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
καθὼς ἐγένετο ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις Λώτ
as ˱it˲_became in the days ˱of˲_Lot
Jesus is drawing another analogy like the one in 17:27, but in this case he does not specify the object of the comparison right away. He does not do so explicitly until 17:30. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could supply that information here. Alternate translation: “people were doing certain things at the time when Lot lived, and people will be doing the same things at the time when I am about to return”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις Λώτ
in the days ˱of˲_Lot
Jesus is using the term days to refer to a specific time. Alternate translation: “at the time when Lot was living”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

˱they˲_/were/_eating ˱they˲_/were/_drinking ˱they˲_/were/_buying ˱they˲_/were/_selling ˱they˲_/were/_planting ˱they˲_/were/_building
Jesus describes several regular activities to refer to regular activities in general. Alternate translation: “they were going about their normal lives”
Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns
ἤσθιον
˱they˲_/were/_eating
The implication from 17:29 is that the pronoun they refers to the people of Sodom. Alternate translation: “the people of Sodom were eating”
17:20-37 This is the first of two discourses in Luke’s Gospel on the coming of the Kingdom and the return of the Son of Man (see also ch 21).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
